Uganda: Discovering the White Nile 2021
The only horse riding tour in Uganda… together with our local partners we have organized this adventure for you where the longest river in the world, the White Nile, is born. We brought beautiful thoroughbred horses from Kenya, perfectly trained and amazingly adapted to the new accommodation.
